allele of IPMDH2 or IPMDH3 had decreased leucine biosynthetic enzyme activities and lower free leucine concentrations. The latter mutant showed changes in glucosinolate profiles different from those in the ipmdh1 mutant. * The results demonstrate that IPMDH2 and IPMDH3 primarily function in leucine biosynthesis, are essential for pollen development and are needed for proper embryo sac development.

The first publication on a transgenic plant was by Jeff Schell‘s group at the Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne together with the group of Marc van Montagu in Gent, Belgium (De Block et al., 1984). At present, a large number of institutions in Germany are engaged in experimental plant research, examples of which are given below. This list, which is far from complete, includes large research institutes with up to several hundred staff members and research groups at universities. The research institutes, as well as universities, carry out primarily basic research, which is in many cases related to biotechnical applications.

1.1 The Max Planck Society The Max Planck Society for the Advancement of Science is an independent, non-profit organisation that promotes basic research. With about 80 institutes, it supports promising research activities in life sciences, natural sciences and humanities that require personnel and equipment expenditures that universities cannot afford. (a) Max Planck Institute for Molecular Plant Physiology, Potsdam-Golm (Prof. Ralph Bock, Prof. Mark Stitt, Prof. Lothar Willmitzer). From genome structure to genome function, network analyses, genetic diversity, phenotyping, data mining and biomodelling and biotechnology. (b) Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Cologne (Prof. George Coupland, Prof. Maarten Koorneef, Prof. Paul Schulze-Leffert). Plant developmental biology, plant breeding and genetics, plant microbe interactions. (c) Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena (Prof. Ian T. Baldwin, Prof. Wilhelm Boland, Prof.

Jonathan Gershenzon). Molecular ecology, plant defense mechanisms, metabolism of secondary plant compounds.

1.2 The Leibniz Association The Leibniz Association is the umbrella organisation for 86 institutions conducting research or providing scientific infrastructure. They conduct strategic theme-based research with an interdisciplinary approach. (a) Leibniz-Institute of Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK), Gatersleben (Prof. Andreas Graner, Dr Winfried Weschke, Dr Helmut Baeumlein, Dr Udo Conrad, Dr Lothar Altschmied, Prof. Falk Schreiber, Dr Mario Gils, Prof. Nicolaus van Wiren, Dr Michael Melzer).

Gene bank with 148 000 accessions from 3 049 plant species and 801 genera, and herbarium with 390 000 samples. Seed development, gene regulation, phytoantibodies, expression mapping, plant bioinformatics, hybrid
